Meta Will Respond in N.J. Privacy Suit at 'Appropriate Time,' Says Counsel

Meta doesn’t intend to waive its right to respond to a fraud complaint “at the appropriate time,” said counsel Stephanie Silvano of Gibson Dunn in a Thursday letter (docket 2:23-cv-13558) to the U.S. District Court of New Jersey in Newark involving a fraud complaint by a plaintiff who opted out of the $725 million settlement in re: Facebook, Inc., Consumer Privacy User Profile Litigation. Meta filed a letter Wednesday requesting an extension until Oct. 5 to give the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation time to finalize a conditional transfer order and transfer Aakash Dalal v. Meta Platforms, Inc. to the Northern District of California, where U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria is overseeing other related actions for pre-trial proceedings.
